Overseas visits
From 11 to 14 October 2018 I travelled to the Faroe Islands as a guest of the Party for People's Government to address a conference on self-determination. My flight from Copenhagen to Vagar, three nights in a hotel, meals in the Faroes and some transport was paid by the Party for People's Government (a pollical party of Medlemssekretær (TJ), Christiansborg, DK-1240 København K, Danmark). The cost of the trip to the Party for People's Government was around £1,000. I paid for my flights from Edinburgh to and from Copenhagen and incidentals such as airport parking, meals in transit and some transport in the Faroe lslands. [Registered 24 October 2018]
